Those SNGs you are playing are FOR POINTS - you can buy in with $$ if you like - BUT YOU ONLY WIN POINTS(even if you buy in with $5 you STILL only win points).
You have to play $ GTD MTT - I seriously don't know how many times I can repeat this to you. F**K YOU ARE DUMB. Check the MTT schedule- look for any GTD MTT - select register - you can choose from points or $ (just like the points SNGs you're playing lol) and if you win a prize - you will get actual money - NOT points. It really can't be made any clearer for you.
CJVFRUITY even posted a fucking screenshot of how to do it on the previous page for you. You are just incredibly daft.. trust me.. poker is NOT the game for you. In fact - I think you'd struggle with Connect-4 to be honest.

Operators on PlayersOnly work for the merge network, they are not 100% familiar with all the promotions for PO & BRM.
Here is a list of tournaments you can enter using your points. ALL PRIZES ARE REAL MONEY!!!

I have got the 5000 points, and entered a couple of 10 + 1 $ buy in tournaments. (I played like an idiot, and didn't win anything, so I haven't cashed out, but that's not the point. The points are not playmoney.)
lmao - I won some MTT - then played like an idiot and didn't cash out
BTW Jess, how have you managed with the floods and everything? I hear there is snakes and sh*t floating around? That can't be ggod?

i removed players only from my computer and i have my acoount closed. You want to know the reason, well here it is:
Everybody says everything but the operators ( and i spoke to 7 of them ) all said the same I can not win real money or get vippoints to redeem unless i play real money. I was told to make a deposit first.That s information i received from players only opertors. they said i can only use them for winning more points of their store. When this is not true, then this is another reason for me not to join that site, because when their own operators don t know the rules who does............... I ve said more than enough about this i m through with it..................

I find this no deposit bonus to actually be quite interesting! I just received my 5000 vip points, I will try some of the guaranteed tournys later. I just sat at one of the 100 vip point SnG's and managed to win 302, so thats 200 points profit in 15 minutes...
This could be a good way to hang on to the free bankroll, everytime you get low on points from entering tournys, go back and win more on the SnG's! that way you can save your real money $ winnings for other games

Yeah - I agree -The SNG structure (for other peoples info) is a 6 seater "triple up" ie; top 2 out of 6 paid triple their buyin.. They're pretty soft and not a bad way to continue funding entry into the $GTD MTTs.

Well, I'm down south - Melbourne/Victoria - Vic just flooded last couple days - but not so much in Melbourne - a few closed roads here and there - but not much. It's our North-East part of the country - Queensland - that's completely fucked. Those guys are stuffed - bad news for our fruit prices too - since that's where all our local fruit comes from.

COOL INFO FOR YOU ALL!...
Making some real $ is even easier than winning in the guaranteed tournys, I just entered a $2 bounty turbo with my points, knocked out 2 players with my first hand! checked my cashier, and the 2 x $1 is showing already!
I checked and you can enter any Bounty tournys that do not require $ buy in with your points!
Sweet way to make some real $ guys..
------------ I managed to take 6 bounties and reach the final table finishing 8th out of 188! got $5.64 for that, for me, at least, that is very pleasing! a nice $10 bankroll to get me started..
Also, I really like the look of the final table on players only, it changes to a sexy sleek black cloth.. probably the last time I see that for a while!

I signed up there and requested the points, but BRM cant find my name in the register, and everytime i try and log in it keeps saying Try again later. I think im just gonna skip this one offer, but it sounds good though so its a shame

Yeah - that is a shame ! It's definitely one of the BETTER offers IMHO currently on BRM - it's a medium sized room - full of fish - and the $50 starting bankroll is a pretty decent kick-start for a casual players bankroll - tourney structure is fairly good also - get to final tables without it becoming a shove-fest etc.
Maybe follow up with PO support ?
Haha - also - noticed I got some for my abusive posts - *sigh* just telling it like it is

i just found that out myself. the man in the chat window at players only told me if i want to exchange the vip points for money, just make a deposit first. I think bankrollmob is responsible for misleading us in the first place. It was on this site that a promotion lead me to believe that i could get $50 in free poker money at players only. I went to a lot of time and trouble to do this. I'm really not happy with brm at this point.

A) You did NOT go to a lot of trouble to get this B) IMHO this is one of the better deals going at BRM C) You DID get $50 free poker money D) BRM site clearly states you'll get 5,000 in VIP points worth around $50 - how is that misleading? E)Why on earth would you think you'd be able to exchange that straight away for cash ? If that was the case they'd just give you the $50 cash wouldn't they ? Why would they bother with points ? Dumbass F) Read this whole thread here - please happily apply any of my more offensive responses to yourself where-ever appropriate. Thank you.

Posted by Kutkat: I want to tell you all one thing. The 5000 free vippoints at players only are not want they appear to be. You can play a few tournaments and only earn points, no cash! They say you have to make 3000 points in order to exchange them for cash so that you can play more games such as cashgames. Well i made over 3000 points ( my total is 8400 now) but i still cant exchange them. Now they say i have to make 3000 points using real money !!!!!!! So watch out you can only get something if you deposit first ! 1 point for every 10 cents!! Well try to make 3000 points hahahaha.....( $300 ) The vippoints you get as an equivalent for $ 50 is nothing but a kind of playmoney, you cant win anything with it just more useless vippoints.!!!!!
Kutkat.
Funny how I won real money on there. And I never made a deposit. Took the 5000 points from BRM and won cash. PLayed that cash in tourneys and won more cash. So what is your problem? What you say here is totally false. You are talking against the site and BRM. If you don't know the difference in play chips and real money, best to stop playing poker now. As you can see by the comments, you are alone in this. How is it that so many of us can win real money, but you claim that there is no real money. How about you take some of those points, and enter into a guaranteed tourney. This is how you turn the points into cash. This thread is a pile of crap...

I have accumulated a BR of over 100$ and have earned 1200vip points to go with the 1790 i had left soooooooooo it is a great deal to someone who is serious about brm just use it with your points till you get some roll.The 2.20 bounties can be entered with points and so can any guarantee so there is plenty of ways to make cash outta your points, just be patient.Good luck
------------ this is so not true. any guarantee or bounty tourny will take points and you win cash so plz dont spread these nasty stories
